### Why are AI agents cheaper?

**AI agents work 24/7 without breaks, benefits, or burnout.** An AI SDR can send 1,000+ personalized outreach messages per day — a task that would require 5-8 human SDRs. According to McKinsey, AI-powered sales automation reduces cost per qualified lead by 60-80% while increasing pipeline volume by 3-5x.

In customer support, AI agents resolve 73% of tickets autonomously (based on our [real client deployments](https://meek.media/case-studies)). Response time drops from hours to under 2 minutes. The remaining 27% of complex tickets still go to humans, but your team shrinks by 60%.

For content creation, AI workflows produce SEO-optimized articles, social posts, and email sequences at 10x the speed of human writers — while your human editor ensures quality and brand voice. The result: more content, lower cost, faster time to publish.
